A new round of COVID-19: How concerned are you?

Published: July 8, 2020, 11:37 a.m.

b'Since early this year, not a day has passed without hearing the words "coronavirus" or "COVID." Every day the numbers grow and it\'s not surprising that we have become desensitized to all of it by now. So many of us are frustrated with the amount of time it\'s taking for our local governments to open back up or the slow progress being made on a vaccine that where there was once fear, there\'s now anger. But whether you are scared or angry or even in disbelief that the numbers are even real, the fact remains that COVID-19 is a very real disease that has killed over 130 thousand Americans since the start -- and that number comes from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, so you don\'t have to take our word for it. Dr. Simone Wildes is here to say she understands your frustration, but that we cannot become complacent now. Dr. Wildes also talks about just how close we are to a vaccine and clears up the whole "performing less tests would yield less cases" theory.'
